Bethlehem Township’s Daniel Dae Kim he feels incredibly lucky to be able to stay in Hawaii while working as an actor first in “Lost” and then in “Hawaii-Five-0.

Kim who has been living in the Aloha State for the past six years, told Zap2it, "for all the stars to have aligned for me to stay in Hawaii the way I have, I feel very lucky. Fortunate is a better word."

Playing parts in shows filmed in Oahu allowed him to keep his family in one place. He says it is a little weird though when "Hawaii Five-0" films in some of the same spots where he spent several years playing Jin on "Lost."

"We actually shot the other day on the beach where I shot five years of 'Lost,'" Kim says. "That was a little bit surreal to kind of go back to familiar territory, but with different surroundings."

Kim plays Chin Ho Kelly, a former Honolulu police detective who was driven off the force but is picked by Steve McGarrett played by Alex O'Loughlin to be on his team.
